Chapter 163: Nian Family Delacier Family——New Entry into Candela

In the deep mountains at the junction of two counts, a red-headed crow passed through a long and narrow cave and entered a hidden valley.

"Gah-"

"Gah-"

A guard who was resting on the watchtower opened his eyes, stood up, took out the red potion he was carrying, pulled out the cork, and placed it in front of the red-headed crow.

The special fragrance made the red-headed crow feel nauseated and vomited out the sealed blue jade bamboo tube stored in its stomach.

The guard picked up a small blue jade bamboo tube on the ground, put down a piece of meat, then left the watchtower and walked towards the center of the gathering place.

The red-headed crow swallowed the meat with bright red blood and left here satisfied.

In a house located in the center of the valley, a girl is concentrating on her practice, and the surrounding magic energy is gathering towards her.

A middle-aged knight entered the courtyard with a cleaned blue jade bamboo tube and stood respectfully beside him, looking at the girl quietly, his eyes full of sorrow.

Half an hour later, the girl stopped practicing, opened her eyes, looked at the middle-aged knight not far away, smiled, and asked: "Uncle Mueller, what's the matter?"

"My Lord, Old Tom from Maishi Village has sent a letter from Blue Jade Bamboo." The middle-aged knight leaned down and saluted, and presented the Blue Jade Bamboo tube with both hands.

The girl quickly stood up, came to the middle-aged knight Mueller, took the blue jade bamboo tube, removed the bamboo plug, and took out the note stored inside.

"My young master, two strange knights came to the village yesterday. It may be a new round of searches by the traitors, and they have discovered the identities of their subordinates. I don't have much time to live. I have survived for more than thirty years. I am very lucky and hope that the young master will return to the family soon, put things right and complete the unfinished business of the master."

"Master, what's the matter?" Mueller asked eagerly as he saw the girl's face becoming more and more serious.

The girl closed her eyes, leaving a tear in the corner of her eye, covering her chest, feeling the beating of her heart, and the magic power circulating in her body: "Uncle Mueller, my adoptive father has gone."

"What, how is it possible? Could it be that Maishi Village has already..."

The girl handed the note to the middle-aged knight and sat helplessly on the ground. Memories from her childhood kept popping up in her mind, and they were already a little blurry.

Muller read it carefully, his heart became heavier. He looked at the lost girl and comforted softly: "My lord, Old Tom's sacrifice will not be in vain. He guarded your traces with his life."

"Don't let my sworn brother know about this yet."

"Yes."

The middle-aged knight swallowed the note, saluted the girl, and then exited the house.

The girl was lying on the ground, her heart became heavier and heavier, she couldn't help crying, and her heart became more and more filled with hatred for the traitor who had passed down her family two hundred years ago.

……

The journey to Kandela went smoothly.

The midway attack that Weilin expected did not appear at all, making him doubt his judgment.

"My lord, there is Candela ahead."

Looking at the distracted Weilin, Kyle reminded him softly.

"Well, let's get settled in the city first." Weilin patted the red phosphorus horse and asked it to speed up.

Kandra, the most important city of the Delacier family, is somewhat different from the towns on the way. At least the environment is cleaner, the guards are doing their jobs, and there is no extortion.

After paying two copper coins as the entrance fee, Weilin successfully entered the city.

After finding a hotel in the city to settle down near the aristocratic area, Kyle went out to collect information and put his master's affairs first. Even if Weilin intended to let him rest for a day, it would be of no avail.

After Kyle left, Verin lay alone in bed, waiting for the guidance of fate.

January 9724st, in the glorious calendar, is another new year.

In this world, there is no tradition of celebrating New Year.

Unless the nobles are willing to establish a legal holiday to celebrate the first day of the New Year and implement it in their own territory, ordinary civilians will have no time to rest and will have to rush for life all day long.

[Three precious mermaid pearls are hidden under a reef on the outskirts of the small town of Cholica, Dongyan County, Sina Province, Kingdom of Ilia. 】

"Mermaid pearls, according to ancient history, a mermaid can only give birth to seven mermaid pearls in a lifetime. It can help high-level silver to break through the gold level. It is a treasure that can be encountered but not sought."

Weilin touched his chin, wondering why there were three mermaid pearls placed under the reef. Did they accidentally fall here, or was someone deliberately placed them here.

The mermaid pearl is not very important to Weilin. After taking the seven-color life flower, there is no bottleneck for him to break through to gold.

However, this thing can be given away.

Keeping this place name in mind, after investigating Devon Hill's information, Verin prepared to pick up the things along the way.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Kyle returned to the hotel, a little disappointed.

"Lord, there is very little information about Devonshire that has been circulated in the market. Most of it is between Devonshire and the current head of the Dracier family, the current Earl of Kaohsiung, Frederick Dracier. A mistress had an affair and was discovered by the earl. Devonshire was ashamed and voluntarily gave up his family name and left Kaohsiung."

"Haha, this sounds false." Verin poured a glass of water for Kyle, his tone full of contempt, and he was even more disgusted with the Dracier family.

Isn't it funny to ask how a person with questionable character can become a Temple Knight?

"My lord, what should we do next? Should we kidnap a few members of the Dracier family?" Kyle looked at Verin, eager to try.

Weilin shook his head and prepared to wait a few days before talking.

In the next few days, the two of them stayed in the hotel to rest, and occasionally went out to visit several iconic areas in Kandela just to relax.

Three days later, Verin closed the window and locked the door to his room.

"So many more spies."

Verin looked at Kyle's reply on the drawing and drew out the appearance of all the spies whose identities could be confirmed in the past few days. They were very different from real people.

"My Lord, why don't I kidnap a few of them back tonight and interrogate them strictly?"

"No need, now they are in the light and we are in the dark, switching between offense and defense." Weilin put his hands on the table, staring at the portraits of eight people on the white paper, thinking constantly in his mind.

Are these people spies from the Dracier family, people from the dead man Old Tom's force, people from some evil cult, or all of them.

"So, how do we deal with it?" Kyle said with some confusion.

"We'll leave the city in two days and see if these people will follow."

If this matter was really troublesome, Verin decided to give up recruiting Devon Hill as his knight chief instructor. He did not want to be inexplicably involved in an unrelated conspiracy.

I hope that the information I need will not be involved, otherwise I will have to give up the "poaching" plan and go home.
